2. Click the **Skills Search** tab.![](https://cdn.document360.io/c315c68d-2799-4fcc-9a39-084315b58f14/Images/Documentation/image-1673765434661.png)
3. Expand one or several skill categories to reveal all available skills, select the check box next to the skills that the employees must possess to match the criteria. Alternatively, type a skill title in the skill search field.  
*NoteAvailability of skills for selection depends on the configuration of [person attributes](/v1/docs/person-attributes) (skills) and [person attribute categories](/v1/docs/person-attribute-categories) (skill groups) in the Core HR settings.TipUsing the skill search field is especially helpful when your company has a lot of *configured* skills (person attributes).*
